AMERICAN VARIETIES OF GARDEN BEANS. 



Warren Bush. (See p. 86.) 

 Warwick. (See p. 87.) 



White Cherry Pole. (Listed by 1 seedsman. Seeds tested: Griffith & Turner, 1905.) 

 Same as Lazy Wife Pole. Name used by above-named seedsmen at least since 1890 

 and probably by others long before that time. 



White Cornfield Pole. (Listed by 1 seedsman. Seeds tested: Schisler-Corneli, 

 1905.) Same as White Creaseback Pole. Name apparently first used by above- 

 named seedsmen. 



White Cranberry Bush. Name used as early as 1830, but now out of use among 

 seedsmen, or at least not now to be found in seed catalogues. 



White Cranberry Pole. A name now sometimes applied to Lazy Wife Pole; but 

 as used about 1830 it seems to have designated a sort smaller seeded than Lazy Wife 

 Pole. 



White Creaseback Pole. (See p. 125.) 

 White Dutch Runner Pole. (See p. 41.) 

 White Kidney Field Bean. (See p. 87.) 



White Kidney Wax. (Listed by 4 seedsmen.) A very ambiguous name, but gen- 

 eratlly used with reference to Davis Wax. ^ 



White Marrow Field Bean. (See p. 88.) 



White Mexican Field Bean. (Listed by 1 seedsman. Seeds tested: Hastings, 

 1905.) Same as Navy Pea. Name apparently first used by seedsmen about 1885. 



White Sickle Pole. (See p. 126.) 



White Valentine. (See p. 88.) 



White Wax. (Listed by 34 seedsmen.) The old bean formerly cultivated in this 

 country as White Wax and German White Wax was one of the first used wax -podded 

 bush varieties, but the old type of this name has apparently gone out of use. The 

 type now sold under this name is generally Davis Wax, which is a very different 

 variety from the true type of thirty years ago, and quite different from Burpee's 

 Stringless White Wax of present day. 



White Wonder Bush Field Bean. (Listed by 6 seedsmen.) A name applied in 

 the West to a variety of field bean. 



White Wonder Pole. This name is sometimes used by California growers for White 

 Sickle Pole, but has never been included in seedsmen's lists. 



White's Prolific Pole. (See p. 126.) 



Wilkie's Perfection Prize Pole Lima. (Listed by 1 seedsman. Seeds tested: 

 Moore & Simon, 1904-1.906.) Very similar to and possibly identical with Ford's 

 Mammoth Pole Lima. Introduced in 1892 by Moore & Simon, who state that the 

 Variety originated with Thomas Wilkie, a Philadelphia market gardener. 



Willet's Bush Lima. (Listed by 1 seedsman. Seeds tested: Willet, 1905.) Same 

 as Burpee's Bush Lima. Introduced in 1905 by N. L. Willet Drug Company. 



Willing's Pride Pole. (Listed by 1 seedsman. Seeds tested: Salzer, 1905.) Same 

 as Southern Prolific Pole and consisting wholly of the long flat-podded type. 

 Apparently introduced by the John A. Salzer Seed Company, by whom it has been 

 listed since 1894. 



Willow-Leaved Bush Lima. (See p. 44.) 



Willow-Leaved Pole Lima. (See p. 52.) 



Wisconsin Tree Field Bean. (Listed by 1 seedsman. Seeds tested: Moore & 

 Simon, 1904, 1905.) Same as White Marrowfat. Introduced in 1893 by J. A.
